Herpes simplex virus presenting as an oropharyngeal mass
HSV supraglottitis is a rare, rapidly progressive, and highly morbid condition. Lack of overt patient risk factors, frequently inconclusive biopsies, and clinical appearance mimicking other etiologies make diagnosis challenging. Superimposed bacterial infection is even less common and may contribute to increased disease severity and progression.
